Happy Bisexual Day!
Yikes! I'll take the pie...
Bisexual Day? Last I checked, bisexuality made every day a holiday...
I don't think that orientation exists, but then maybe I haven't heard a decent explination of it. I'll just agree to disagree for now.
Try sexual or bisexual?
What about Asexual?
Try sexual or bisexual?Yes.
You do not think people are capable of being attracted to more than one gender?
Try sexual or bisexual?Yes.
Vendle, your viewpoint makes me sad.
Now that's a celebration I can get behind!

We need a holiday to celebrate the largest-growing new sexuality here in America. FattySexuals. 70% of Americans are married to fat dudes or 'goddesses of Juno-esque proportions.'
So, obviously, since marriage is strictly defined and limited by lines of sexual attraction (and not antiquated notions like 'love,' which are a threat to the sanctity of marriage), these people *must* be sexually attracted to fat people.*
*Obligatory disclaimer; 'Not that there's anything wrong with that.'
On a more serious note, I wonder if there's a term for someone who is sexually attracted by non-gender specific body parts, like dark eyes or slender hands? OptiSexual? ManiSexual? Bizarre freak?
Set: The word you are looking for is 'Fetishist', and when describing them, the term '-phile' is used, instead of '-sexual'.

Generally, everything outside the "norm" is thrown into the "fetish" catagory, where if you are sexually attracted to, say, shaven forearms then you are labled as a forearm fetishist. now, it has been practice that any group that forms around one of these fetishes will come up with a name for it. which is what happened to BDSM and Furry.
...I just realized I know way too much about the most random stuff...
edit: Damnit! would've beaten Ross if the board hadn't eaten my first post.

Ummm...*technically* the term fetish only applies to inanimate objects. Such as a shoe fetish. However, the term is colloquially broadened to included attractions to specific acts or portions of anatomy. Technically, the -phile suffix is correct for these, as Ross mentioned.

you may want to read this. I know Wiki isn't the best source for stuff, but it hasn't led me wrong yet.
"Body parts may also be the subject of sexual fetishes (also known as partialism) in which the body part preferred by the fetishist takes a sexual precedence over the owner."
Although you did say "colloquially" there, and I don't know much more colloquial then Wiki...
And after further reading, I have learned that I was only partially right. BDSM and Furry don't count. apparently it's only objects and body parts. huh.

So a necrophile, who is attacted to an inanimate object (albeit one that used to be a living person), would be more correctly a necrofetishist, or someone with a corpse fetish?
Gosh, it's all so confusing. We need a better, more consistent taxonomy of kinks and perversions! I don't want to sound all ignorant as I label and denigrate other people!
Oh wait...
Duly noted. I was under the impression that body parts did not count. I'll have to do some journal research and see if that's really an accepted use or just a colloquialism gaining acceptance.
Thanks!
This thread is turning creeeepy... ;)

If your corpse is inanimate, you need to fire your necromancer.

No kidding. Consenting, living, adults please.

This is NOT why we gave you an office with a door, Chris...

But it *is* why my office has a hall-facing window!
Oh, wait...
Vampires are proof that you don't need to be alive to give consent. ;p
But they are thralls which is not exactly consenting.
As soon as I get my thrall vampires’ consent.
*looks up from licking himself on the sofa*
You could remove the door?
We could have some lovely beads.

Ooo, I like that plan. The clattering of the beads could announce visitors.
